Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which was started to provide inmates an account for inmate money and for buying things not provided by the facility.

Friends, family, or other people may send funds to these Commissary accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send inmates money through the postal service and have to send money to the following address and follow the policies listed below:

The deposit must be in a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold period, and during this period the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that don’t have appropriate prisoner info if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Cash and checks cannot be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send checks or cash.
